Worthy of a Special Occasion

Red curry powder is a blend of coriander, cumin, chiles, and cardamom. Use it to give this quick stir-fry a hint of Thai flavor.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  (3 1/2-ounce) bags boil-in-bag long-grain rice
  • 1  (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1  tablespoon  canola oil
  • 1  teaspoon  red curry powder
  • 1  cup  snow peas
  • 1/3  cup  light coconut milk
  • 1  tablespoon  fish sauce
  • 1  teaspoon  red curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen)
  • 1  cup  bottled mango, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2  cup  sliced green onions, divided
  • 2  tablespoons  shredded coconut
  • 4  lime wedges (optional)

Preparation

Prepare rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.

Cut pork into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork evenly with curry powder. Add pork and snow peas to pan; stir-fry 3 minutes.

Combine coconut milk, fish sauce, and curry paste, stirring well. Add milk mixture to pan; bring to a simmer. Stir in mango and 1/4 cup onions; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Place 1 cup rice on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 1/4 cups pork mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon of remaining 1/4 cup onions and 1 1/2 teaspoons shredded coconut. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

I would add some extra peas and mango, and double the sauce recipe as it dries out a bit if you reheat it. I would also add some extra of each type of curry for a spicier flavor. I used brown rice and it was great. We loved this recipe and will make it regularly!02/04/09

This recipe was great. I did make a few changes. I decreased the red curry paste because my daughter doesn't food hot. Even with halving the amount she thought it was too spicy but I loved it and my husband would have liked more. I also didn't have a ripe menu so I used nectarines which were very good. I think pineapple would also work. It did seem to take longer for the pork to cook so I increased the cooking time. I served it with baked brown rice instead of the boil in bag rice. Husband an I really liked this recipe.01/28/09
